The Faces of the Enneagram

The Enneagram is a system for naming nine personality types.  The symbol is ancient, but from around 1950-1970, it was redefined to become the psychological tool we know it as today. 

The enneagram defines 9 personality types. Each type has a principal fear or motivation that grips a person as she faces the world. Your central fear gathers a character type around it like a magnet gathers metal shavings.

The Faces of Enneagram is a project in which I interviewed 9 individuals: either people who knew their own type well, or had loved someone of a certain type.  We played with playdough as we talked, to see what forms would come up unconsciously. 

These videos are a visual record of the humanity captured by each type of the Enneagram.
